BELOIT, Wis., Feb. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: BHWB) today reported net income of $781,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a 7% increase compared to the $731,000 earned in the fourth quarter of 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012 Blackhawk reported net income of $2,912,000, a 20% increase compared to $2,426,000 earned in 2011. Strong growth in noninterest income, led by mortgage banking revenue, more than offset an increase in the provision for loan losses for the year.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the fourth quarter decreased 1% to $4.76 million compared to $4.84 million in the fourth quarter 2011. For the full year net interest income was down 1% to $19.0 million, compared to $19.2 million for 2011. The net interest margin for the quarter decreased to 3.75% compared to 3.79% for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012 the net interest margin decreased 6 basis points to 3.76% compared to 3.82% the year before. Growth in the commercial loan portfolio has helped to mitigate downward pressure on the net interest margin from the prolonged low rate environment.
Average earning assets for 2012 increased by $9.7 million compared to the year before. The earning asset growth includes an $18.6 million, or 6%, increase in average loans, which was offset by a reduction of $11.0 million in investment securities and short-term investments. Average total deposits for 2012 grew by $12.2 million, or 3%, to $487.9 million compared to $475.6 in 2011.
Non-Interest Income and Operating Expenses
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter totaled $2.7 million, a 25% increase compared to the $2.2 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2011. For the year, non-interest income increased 38% to $11.1 million compared to $8.1 million in 2011. The $3.0 million increase in non-interest income for the year reflects a $2.0 million increase in mortgage banking revenue and increases in substantially all other categories of non-interest income.
Operating expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 16%, to $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $4.8 million the prior year. For the year, operating expenses were up $1.8 million, or 9%, to $21.4 million compared to $19.5 million in 2011. The increase in expenses was primarily in salary and benefits and other variable expenses tied to increased mortgage banking and other fee generating activities.
Provision for Loan Losses and Credit Quality
The provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter decreased by 21% to $1.3 million compared to $1.6 million in fourth quarter 2011. For the year, Blackhawk recorded a provision for loan losses of $5.6 million, a 17% increase over the $4.8 million provision recorded in 2011. Loans charged off in 2012, net of recoveries, equaled $6.0 million compared to $4.0 million in 2011. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.77% at December 31, 2012 compared to 2.05% at December 31, 2011.
The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for loan losses for 2011 and 2010.

Outlook
Blackhawk has created a strong credit culture and the processes to support it, but the potential for continuing economic weakness presents a heightened level of risk. For that reason the company expects to continue fortifying its balance sheet by conserving capital, strengthening the allowance for loan losses and maintaining ample liquidity to meet the demands of its customer base. The company will however continue to seek profitable growth opportunities in its Wisconsin and Illinois markets, without sacrificing profitability or credit quality. Blackhawk emphasizes the value of its personal attention and the service it provides that remain unmatched by larger competitors.
